A fireplace installation in Park Central, start to finish
Each point below turns into a line on your written estimate in Park Central.
Choosing a spot away from moving air
Where a fireplace sits affects how it draws. One maker cautions that a location near frequently opened doors, central heating outlets or returns, or other places with considerable air movement can affect performance and cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the fireplace.
When we look at possible locations in your room, we mark the patio door, the supply registers and the return grille and keep the firebox out of their path. A few feet can make the difference between a fireplace that draws cleanly and one that puffs smoke when the air conditioning starts.
Glass doors that belong to the listing
Section R1004.5 says a gasketed fireplace door shall not be installed on a factory-built fireplace unless the fireplace system has been specifically tested, listed and labeled for such use in accordance with UL 127. The E-series manual lists the door models tested with its fireplaces.
Aftermarket doors that seal tightly can trap heat the fireplace was not tested for. We order doors from the manual's list, and if you already bought a set, we check the model before hanging it.
Carbon monoxide alarm rules for new fireplaces
Florida Statutes section 553.885 requires new buildings and additions that have a fossil-fuel-burning heater or appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage to have an approved operational carbon monoxide alarm installed within 10 feet of each room used for sleeping, or at other locations the Florida Building Code requires.
Where a new fireplace is part of an addition, that alarm requirement is part of the project. We point it out at the planning stage and list the alarm work separately.
The first few fires
A new fireplace's first fires cure its paint and the materials inside the firebox, and that can produce an odor for a while. Most manuals describe a break-in routine of smaller fires before the fireplace is used hard.
We light the first fire with you, explain the break-in your manual describes and suggest opening a window for fresh air while the curing finishes. Any smoke alarm that sounds during those fires should stay connected, with the room ventilated instead.

Answers on adding a fireplace for Park Central households
Short answers from our fireplace installers in Park Central. Anything else, just call.
What can cover the face of the fireplace?
For a factory-built unit, noncombustible materials such as tile, brick or stone, with cooling slots and the door frame left clear. We confirm your finish against the manual before it is ordered.
Is a smell during the first few fires normal?
For a short while, yes. The early fires cure the paint and the materials inside the firebox, and most manuals ask for a run of smaller fires first. We light the first one with you, watch the draft with the doors open and shut, and suggest a window open while the curing finishes.
